MEDDAC Medic SPC Joshua I. Emmick was the recipient of the Army Commendation Medal at a ceremony Jan. 9, 2015 by acting MEDDAC Commander COL Robin Adams-Massenburg for his actions while serving as a surgery technician during a recent rare emergent operation at Winn ACH.

His supervisor testified at the ceremony that SPC Emmick's actions during a life-threatening surgical complication probably saved the patient's life. Cited were his expertise and uncommon cool under pressure.

This Soldier's actions and demeanor under serious pressure set a strong example for others to follow and demonstrated the high quality of Army Medicine and its Medics.
